Frank D. Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Perry, This is simply outstanding work. I'm completely speechless. Could you shed some light as to how you got the maple top to form to the mahogany body? Did you bend it with steam? It's driving me nuts trying to figure it out! Once again the guitar is astounding. Thanks, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Frank You've seen kerfed linings in an acoustic? Imagine that, under the top. Only in the area needed, and dont slot within 5mm of the edge (to avoid having to use binding). No steam required. Use a dremel to slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank D. Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 That was my other guess, but I wondered about how you did it without going all the way to the edge. Simply awesome!!!! Thanks so much!! I hope to one day do something like this. I can't get over how beautiful it looks. Someday I will do this!!

John Abbett Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Perry, How many guitars do you think you've built? I need something to re-assure me that there is hope for my building. I think I'm doing pretty good, then I see your work. It's so top quality I think you must have built a few million and have been doing it for at least 300 years. I'm very impressed with the workmanship. -john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buter Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not into triple digits? I'm sure you've posted a pic of hundreds of bodies stacked up and ready for necks! Buter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdstone Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well Perry you have asked for feedback... First class build quality , love the drop top and neck / headstock,fretboard. I think the neck join looks a bit sus for strength. Don`t like the colour at all ,It looks too pretty .The cavity covers look a mess. Black plastic (god forbid ,would look better) Sometimes customers should be limited in what they ask for, its your name on the headstock and thats what people are going to remember. Anyway I bet it plays great and as long as thats the case all is well with the world. keep em coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my benchmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Fantastic build Perry, love the colour. 2 things I would change 1 . As has been mentioned, the covers look out of place (even though they match the neck) 2. The Heel. It just doesn't flow for me. I would like to see a smooth transition without the step. It would probably feel better as well. Would it put me off wanting one NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiezelMonster Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Perry this guitar looks amazing! I really love the colour and the entire design. Just awesome work! Cheers! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
